Remarks by SCMA at media session after "Patriots Collaborate for Good Governance" 2025 Legislative Council election forums: Forum for Hong Kong Island East geographical constituency
Following are the remarks by the Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs, Mr Erick Tsang Kwok-wai, at a media session today (November 15) after attending the "Patriots Collaborate for Good Governance" 2025 Legislative Council election forums: Forum for the Hong Kong Island East geographical constituency:
Reporter: Mr Tsang, with today's fainting incident and also the earlier disruption of the debate, do you think that perhaps there needs to be some sort of improvement made to this sort of debates? Going further, will there be any measures considered, and will you perhaps decide for the next election or further elections to just leave the debates back to the independent TV stations or media to do it instead?
Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs: Of course, we will absorb the experience in doing this forum, and in the future we will do our best to make arrangements so as to make it smooth. Thank you.
